No, after my experience with Pass preamps(XP-20 and XP30), their sterile and lifeless characteristics, I would not compromise any decent amp, tube or sold state, with Pass preamps. My opinion and stated with no offense intended, those still hanging on to Pass preamps are kidding themselves. Tube preamps are the way to go!
Pass Labs Preamps with tube amps?
I see plenty of search results for tube preamps with pass amps, but curious who’s experienced pass preamps (XP-10, 12, 20, 22) feeding low watt tube amps. Specifically SET amps, but any tube experiences would help.
I will be setting up two amps to swap between. a low watt SET amp and a solid state. My main amp listening being SET tube amp.
